Our per-departure orientation has been filled with an enormous amount of information in a few short days.Sessions on Chinese Language, Chinese History by Stanford Professor Dr. Sommer, The Economics of the Chines Middle Class by Mr. Michael McCune, discussions about Modern Chines Society by Dr. Matthew Kohrman among others. Each day is a continuous stream of information and I am sure the coming month will be filled with unique observations, discussions and experiences. The time has come to pack up and journey to China!
